I gotcher trump card right here!

It's really all the gang has. Non-Issues

I think that Jesus being a created being and God being a former human are very concrete issues.

God has never felt compelled send an angry frustrated letter ...

Maybe the mormons should “pester” God instead...

Amen Nana - it worked for me :-)

[Colofornian]

[LDS] Church HQ can’t handle the demand...[re: doctrinal clarifications] [Me]

God can...God has never complained about the volume of requests for “clarification of church doctrine” and “the finer points of doctrine” God has never felt compelled send an angry frustrated letter ... Maybe the mormons should “pester” God instead... [TN]

Maybe if Mormons would ask God with a sincere heart and with real intent, having faith as they ask the true God [vs. the false god of the Mormon hierarchy] for wisdom, God would fulfill His promise to answer them (James 1:5).

I have given you links to answer all of the non-issues brought up

I have searched the links and I have yet to find an answer to the one question I asked: do you agree with the article at the beginning of this thread? I know you're not going to answer, and I can guess why. Prove me wrong - don't be ashamed to make a stand.

[Vendome]

I do believe shortly after the shooting it was “lights out” for Joseph Smith...

I don’t know about the identity of the rod coming from the Stem of Jesse — but certainly I believe that Joseph Smith was a witness of Jesus Christ.

We know you beleive that JS saw Jesus (because he said he did). I'm not asking that.

Interesting. Why don't you know about the root of Jesse being JS? It seems clear that it's taught in your religion. It's certainly on one of PD's links.

If I do the legwork and find it, will you be accept it as truth?

[T Minus Four]

OK, that was easy. You're right PD, it's all right there at our fingertips.

“Quite obviously the ‘root of Jesse’ is a man, a descendant of Jesse and Joseph (as the Lord explains), who seems to have a great mission to perform in connection with gathering the remnant of Israel, as explained in Isaiah 11:11–16 . [Most likely] the ‘rod’ of verse 1 and the ‘root of Jesse’ of verse 10 refer to the same man, Joseph Smith"

Here's the link

Any doubts now?

[Colofornian]

Joey Smith fired a six-shooter and “two or three were wounded by these discharges, two of whom, I am informed, died” (John Taylor,) Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm and the mormons believe that murderers are never forgiven and murder is the unforgivable sin...So Joey Smith went to outer darkness...

C'mon, TN. Imagine yourself in that position. Imagine ...
...That you're in a jail on charges that arose out of earlier charges that you sent 200 mobocrats to destroy...Oh, some online source that pointed out that a certain religious leader was secretly living a polygamous lifestyle.
...A visitor to you smuggled in two loaded six-shooters.
...Your correction officers found out about the smuggled weapons, were cowards and didn't want to confront the weapons' holders' directly...so when some mobocrats who didn't like what you did earlier re: destroying that online source voluntered to take you on directly...they took them up on it.

Conclusion: Obviously, TN, your "followers" are going to say that you -- the jailbird in possession with two smuggled, loaded weapons -- had every "right" to "defend" yourself!

(And then they'd go on & tell you how conservative they are, law & order-wise!)

It appears that we have a MINDREADER on our hands...

Isn’t it just amazing that much of the “tutoring” that Joseph Smith received was directly quoted from the King James Bible. I guess that it is the accepted version in heaven.
